Chorus:

 A7sus2                              A9
I don't want to say "I love you"

 A7sus2                              A9
That would give away too much.

F#m              F#mVar1    F#mVar2   F#mVar1   F#m
It's hip to be detached and precious,
F#m                 F#mVar3 B
The only thing you feel is vicious.

 A7sus2                              A9
I don't want to say "I want you"

 A7sus2                              A9
Even though I want you so much.

F#m              F#mVar1    F#mVar2   F#mVar1   F#m
It's wrapped up in conversation,
F#m        F#mVar3  B
It's whispered in a hush.

Verse:
            D
Though I'm frightened by the word,

            E
Think it's time I made it heard.


            A9                Dsus2
No more empty self possession,

               A9             Em
Visions swept under the mat.

             C            D
It's no New Years resolution,

                 A
It's more than that.


Chorus:
 A7sus2               A9
Now I wake up happy

 A7sus2                A9
Warm in lovers embrace.

F#m   F#mVar1     F#mVar2    F#mVar1    F#m
No one else can touch us
F#m         F#mVar3  B
While we're in this place.

Verse:
            D
So I'll sing it to the world

             E
This simple message to my girl.


            A9                Dsus2
No more empty self possession,

               A9             Em
Visions swept under the mat.

             C            D
It's no New Years resolution,

                 A
It's more than that.



            D
Though I'm frightened by the word,

            E
Think it's time I made it heard.

            D
So I'll sing it to the world

             E                   A9
This simple message to my girl.


            A9                Dsus2
No more empty self possession,

               A9             Em
Visions swept under the mat.

             C            D
It's no New Years resolution,

                 A
It's more than that.


            A9                Dsus2
Oh there's nothing quite as real

               A9             Em
As the touch of your sweet hands.

             C            D
I can't spend the rest of my life

                 A
Buried in the sand
